Franziskaner in Würzburg

That was a fantastic German meal. Everything looked and tasted traditional, just as it should be, without any frills. Absolutely delicious and highly recommended. And the service was incredibly friendly, too.

We ate at the restaurant on Christmas Day and were pleasantly surprised once again. Although it was packed, the owner still took the time for a little chat. Despite being single-handed, the service was remarkably good. The food was, as always, excellent. We can't understand why some people only give the food 3 stars (and without any explanation!). We're looking forward to our next visit.

Everything was perfect. Excellent regional cuisine and warm, efficient service. Thank you for a lovely evening.

A very nice restaurant with friendly and attentive service. The food was very good, but on the pricier side.

The food was, as always, very delicious, and the portion sizes were also very good 👍

★★★★★ – A restaurant you simply have to love! My wife and I dined at the Franziskaner in Würzburg again on Friday, December 5th, and what can we say? From the very first moment, it was another unforgettable experience. We had visited the restaurant for the first time a few months prior and were already completely captivated by the warmth, the wonderful atmosphere, and the excellent food. So, we knew we had to come back. And this time, our expectations were not only met but exceeded. Upon entering, we received a warm welcome, presumably from the owner herself, who greeted us with warmth and poise. A minor issue with our reservation was resolved by her immediately, kindly, and without any fuss. It's precisely these moments that demonstrate the professionalism of the staff and how much the well-being of their guests is to the people at the Franziskaner. These are the kinds of moments that demonstrate the professionalism of the staff and how much they value the comfort and satisfaction of their guests. ★★★★★ – A restaurant you simply have to love! ... ★★★★ – A restaurant you simply have to love! ★★★★ – A restaurant you simply have to love! ★★★★ – A restaurant The entire ambiance of the restaurant is homey and cozy; you immediately feel comfortable and well taken care of. The atmosphere is lively yet relaxed—simply perfect for enjoying an evening. We would especially like to commend the server that evening. She was indeed solely responsible for the packed restaurant, and we were absolutely impressed by how confidently, friendly, and attentively she managed everything. Every table was noticed, every empty glass acknowledged, and every request politely inquired about. And despite this enormous challenge, she even took the time for a short, warm chat. Such dedication and friendliness are rare these days. The food, as on our first visit, was an absolute delight. The Franconian pork shoulder was simply amazing: large, perfectly crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and bursting with flavor. The gravy was incredibly delicious, and the potato dumplings were divine. My wife also had red cabbage, and I had wonderfully aromatic sauerkraut—both excellent and perfectly complemented. Everything here is truly perfect: quality, taste, and value for money. Our visit to the Christmas market culminated that evening at the Franziskaner restaurant, making it a truly perfect experience. Such warmth, hospitality, and passion for good food are sadly all too rare these days. We're certain of one thing: our trip from Fulda to Würzburg will definitely lead us to the Franziskaner more often now. We're already looking forward to our next visit! A huge thank you to the entire team – keep up the great work!

Excellent, authentic restaurant Food was outstanding Service was absolutely top-notch Would gladly return

Small, cozy restaurant with excellent service and delicious food. We'll definitely be back.

Nice restaurant - The only criticism is the smoking area right outside the door.

We had a very nice evening and were extremely satisfied with everything offered: the pork shoulder, the casserole, the wines and the service - everything was absolutely wonderful!

Unfortunately, there are only 5 stars to give. The service and food were amazing. Be sure to reserve a table. No wonder. This definitely won't be the last time we're here. Keep up the good work, it's great that something like this still exists.

Excellent service despite the restaurant being full. Very good food and fine wines. If we come back to Würzburg, we'll definitely stop here again. Thank you for the lovely evening.

We reserved a table for two for dinner based on the many great reviews, and our already high expectations were exceeded. The service was incredibly friendly and positive, and the food was simply fantastic. Whether it was the side salad, the soup, the Sauerbraten, or the Schäufele (pork shoulder), everything was incredibly delicious without exception. The atmosphere was convivial and welcoming, and we will definitely (!!) be back.

Nice inn, friendly people and delicious food.

We had dinner at the Franziskaner Restaurant and we really enjoyed it. The waitress was very attentive, even though it was very busy. We all had Franconian wedding fare for our main course – beef with noodles, cranberries, and horseradish sauce. We all enjoyed it very much. The portion of pasta could have been a bit larger, but the meat was tender as butter. The desserts and the side salad were also absolutely delicious.

We snagged a table at 8 p.m. on a Friday, and the wait was absolutely worth it! The best traditional Franconian food in Würzburg, with extremely friendly service. If you get the chance, you should definitely go here. It's cheaper and tastes better than the Backöfele! 😊

Excellent food and extremely friendly service. If we ever return to Würzburg, we will definitely dine at the Franziskaner again.

Very friendly service and excellent food. A real recommendation. We'd gladly return!

In short...one of the best restaurants in town!! Absolutely fantastic food, superb service!

We had a lovely evening at the Franziskaner Inn. The food was delicious.

A small but fine restaurant. The service—I think it was also the manager—was friendly and attentive. The food was delicious. You should make a reservation in advance!

If you're looking for an incredibly tender and delicious Sauerbraten, this is the place for you! For me, it's only here at the Franziskaner (I've been disappointed too many times elsewhere 🙃). The service is attentive and super friendly. The price/performance ratio is excellent! But be sure to make a reservation – the fact that the restaurant is often fully booked speaks for itself. It's rather unassuming from the outside, but it's worth it. We'll be back again and again. Thanks, and see you soon.

Excellent food and extremely friendly service. If we ever return to Würzburg, we will definitely dine at the Franziskaner again. Thank you again for the lovely Friday evening.

Always a pleasure: consistently friendly service, consistently good food quality, and excellent value for money! Always happy to return!

Excellent Franconian restaurant in the heart of Würzburg, yet on a very quiet square. Very pleasant and relaxing atmosphere. Very friendly staff. Excellent value.

But it was so delicious. My wife said she hadn't eaten boiled beef this good in a long time.

Super delicious and very friendly. A small, fine, quiet inn.

Friendly service, uncomplicated, good food.

We visited Würzburg a few months ago and ate at this restaurant. What can I say? I've never encountered such friendly service (the manager). I got the impression that she truly enjoyed her job. She kept asking questions, even though she was quite busy. The food was excellent; I had a beef roulade, which was tender as butter. The restaurant itself is cozy, and I liked the indirect lighting. The prices are perfectly reasonable. If we ever come back to Würzburg, we'll definitely eat there again...a definite recommendation!

We really enjoyed our visit here. The restaurant is run by a married couple – she serves, he cooks. Although it was busy, the landlady was very friendly, contributed to a good atmosphere, and was also very accommodating to our disabled friend, who was there with us. The food was also delicious.

Very good food. 6-star service 🌟

We had a wonderful evening at the Franziskaner. The food was delicious 😋. I have to give the chef a huge compliment. The service was excellent. Keep up the good work. Thank you very much.

Great atmosphere, great food, outstanding service. All in all, a successful evening. We'd love to come back.

Amazing service, a big thank you to the boss! Amazing food, thanks boss!!! Unbeatable value in Würzburg!

Super friendly hosts, great food and a cozy atmosphere.

Super delicious, inexpensive food, shovels highly recommended, great, friendly boss, very good service.

Super service, the best German cuisine☺️

We had a wonderful evening at the Franziskaner! The owner greeted us so warmly, and we knew it was going to be a great evening. The salmon salad was delicious, the homemade herb dressing was incredibly tasty, and the amazing apple strudel rounded it all off perfectly. If we're ever in Würzburg again, we'll definitely be back!

A stable restaurant, a bit dated. The food is OK.

Four of us ate there yesterday. I can 100 percent recommend the restaurant. The manager runs the service alone. Nevertheless, she has everything under control. She was super friendly, and the drinks came quickly. She kept asking if everything was okay. That's how I imagine service and hospitality. Her husband was in the kitchen. Unfortunately, we didn't get to meet him. But the food was amazing. Everything was freshly prepared and reasonably priced. Since the restaurant isn't very big, please make a reservation in advance. It's definitely worth it.

This restaurant is a must-visit. The waitress (the manager) is very friendly. The food tastes excellent. The shoulder of pork is particularly special. We would love to come back. Thank you for everything.

Highly recommended! We had a reservation for 5 p.m. and were a group of 10 people. Unfortunately, our boat trip was delayed, so we couldn't arrive until 5:30 p.m. Luckily, the group after us canceled, so we were able to stay until the last round. The food is excellent! Authentic German home cooking, superb quality, very tasty, and the portions are filling! It was a very nice evening that we were able to spend there; the service was more than accommodating and super friendly! You just feel at home there. To top it all off, we got our beer to go for a very good price—what more could you want? If we're ever in Würzburg again, we'll definitely be back! Best wishes from southern Lower Saxony :-)

Super delicious food, great service

Worthy of note are the "still reasonable prices. The food was excellent and so was the service. There's nothing more to say.

The shoulder of pork and the Schoppe were delicious! It's not the cheapest restaurant, but you can definitely find more expensive options. The food was definitely worth the price. The service was friendly. The portion was quite filling.

We were there with six people. The table was reserved online. The staff/boss Sabine was an attentive, friendly and warm host. The food was incredibly tasty and, above all, fresh. Everyone was excited. The selection of drinks was also large and ensured that we stayed for over four hours. Price-performance was really very good. From now on my first choice when I come to Würzburg again. I strongly recommend making reservations in good time.

What a surprise this well-arranged restaurant is. A fantastic meal for six with motorcycle friends and the brilliantly fun evening is mainly thanks to the successful cuisine and the service by the boss herself. If we come back to Würzburg, we will reserve a table again.

Hello, very lovely welcome, great hospitality and great food. It couldn't be better. But you should make a reservation because this inn is in high demand, and for good reason. We'd love to come back when we're hungry again. Now we are absolutely full and happy. Kind regards from the people of Aachen.

Highly recommended, great food and very friendly service

The food was very tasty and plentiful. Large selection of Franconian wine and Franconian specialties. You should reserve in advance

Great service! The food was also delicious. Overall we had a nice evening.

Weihnachtsessen mit der Familie. Ausgezeichneter Service, super leckeres Essen. Wir freuen uns auf weitere genussvolle Besuche. ❤️

Very tasty, very friendly service. Really great, I'd love to come back 👍🏻😃

Had been there twice. Had the wedding dinner, it tasted very good, the beef was nice and tender, the horseradish sauce was good, only the tagliatelle could have been a little more but otherwise I was very happy with the food. The service was also very friendly....everything was fine.

Very good food and very friendly service

A really very good restaurant. The food is excellent. Home-style Franconian cuisine at a reasonable price. The service is simply top notch, even for a larger group. Thank you for the lovely evening. We can only recommend the restaurant. Greetings from Munich

Small, cozy brewery next to the hotel of the same name. Franconian cuisine, hearty, tasty, large portions. Prices, service - everything is great. Recommendation!

Chicken breast with orange curry sauce awesome!!! Super tasty. Great service. Sabine is such a lovely, emphatic person and makes every stay a nice little break. Top food selection. Franconian with a touch of sophistication. Great location - right in the middle of the city center and still quiet. We always like to come back.

What an all-round successful evening! A hostess who is completely in her element: friendly, attentive, helpful, straight to the point without being rushed. The cuisine: down-to-earth, honest, very tasty, with a fair price-performance ratio! We will definitely come back the next time we stop in Würzburg 😊 Tip: it's best to reserve!

Perfect restaurant in Würzburg.....the Schäuferle was a culinary delight....greetings to the kitchen! Service was great, super nice....had everything under control on my own....high regards 🤩....highly recommended.....if I could I would give 10 🌟

Nice nice little place. The boss who is responsible for the service is just great and super friendly. The food is really delicious! Special requests are also catered for! To top it all off, there was a heavenly crème brûlee. There is a large and great wine selection. Overall, it was a successful evening for us as a family. Anyone visiting Würzburg city center should definitely stop by here (but it's best to reserve in advance!)

Friendly, attentive service. Very tasty food and perfect crème brûlée.

Very nice staff and sensationally good food. The price-performance ratio is right here. We would love to come back and can highly recommend it.

A small, nice restaurant run with a lot of passion, great service and very good cuisine! Insider tip for Würzburg!!!!

Everything just fits here. Cozy, clean, damn good food and fast, friendly and humorous service. Absolutely recommended.

The food was really great and the service was very nice! Another plus point: dogs are very welcome here :) Really highly recommended. We'd love to come back!

Very friendly boss!!!!The food was great Tasty (roulades highly recommended) overall feel-good atmosphere!!! Oct 27thThe duck was excellent!

Great restaurant with very nice service. The food was simply great. You could order sauce and it was a great thing all around. When I'm back in Würzburg I'll definitely come back.

Food that was super tasty two days in a row now, always food perfect.

Great service! Very warm and helpful! Food was great!

Service sensationally good, cheeky, nice, simply cool. Food was standard

Very friendly attentive service. Traditional ambience. Very well attended. Very tasty food. Vegetarian and vegan still expandable.

We were here for dinner two evenings with a group of 13 people and were impressed by the quality of the food without exception. Particularly recommended are Schäufele, Tafelspitz, beef roulade and salmon fillet with noodles. The competent service from the friendly boss is worth highlighting. Thank you for two lovely evenings of culinary delights! We can fully recommend the Franziskaner.

The food was very tasty and there is something for every taste. We were served very friendly and courteously. Price-performance fits! Always happy, thank you for the lovely evening.

Nice, small restaurant with good Franconian cuisine. The service was excellent. Even though the restaurant was fully booked, the food was served quickly. Ate very well. Gladly again.

We had dinner with three people. Luckily we had reserved. All tables were occupied. Very rarely have we experienced such perfect service. Very friendly, very attentive and without getting stressed or hectic. The shower was a dream. We would love to come back when we are in Würzburg. Thank you for the lovely evening

A small but very personal restaurant. The owner takes the order and serves in a very friendly manner. The food was extremely tasty. Definitely recommended, especially if you want typical regional dishes at reasonable prices.

We were there with a larger group. The food was excellent. The service was very nice.

Dieses Restaurant hat uns mehrfach überrascht. Chefin ist auch einzige Servicekraft. Bewundernswert wie sie das Lokal managt. Super freundlich, sehr schnell und auch noch kompetent. Der Gatte hat die Küche in der Hand. Und was da heraus kommt ist auch erstaunlich. Hervorragendes Schäufele, prima Leberknödelsuppe und ein guter Apfelstrudel. Eine gute Weinauswahl rundet das ganze ab. Ohne Reservierung werden sie keinen Platz bekommen.

Very good experience, friendly server. Excellent value for money.

Very tasty food, fresh and beautifully prepared. Very friendly service. Nice little terrace. Very worthwhile visit...

Very tasty food, super nice boss with excellent service. We have been there several times now and always enjoy coming back when we are in WÜ. 👍 Absolutely recommended 👍

Super nice waitress, good food, ate there two evenings, very fair prices!

I was pleasantly surprised. The last time I was there was years ago, but I have to say there has been a significant improvement. From the roast pork to the casserole, everything was delicious. Very friendly service staff. We'll definitely be back.

very good and down-to-earth cuisine and attentive service

Very good food and friendly staff

despite getting there when kitchen was already closed, the lady was able to serve us with good typical German meat! recommended

Very cozy restaurant, friendly service. The food came quickly and was really tasty. You should definitely reserve in advance.

Great service from Sabine! There were 6 of us there and everything was great – knuckle, Schäufele, Tafelspitz, everything was perfect. Food 5/5, Sabine 10/5! It doesn't get any better.

The best Schäufele I've ever eaten in my life. The service here is excellent, very friendly, even when the place is full. Great!!

We celebrated our wedding here and are looking forward to celebrating our anniversaries here. Very pleasant atmosphere, the food was very fresh and incredibly tasty and professional all-round service at an absolutely fair price!

It was our first time at the Franziskaner Wirtshaus and we were treated very courteously and friendly by the boss. The food was very tasty, so we would like to come back.

Very nice restaurant with seating in front of the restaurant Service very friendly, helpful Food was extremely very good Quantity was just right and food was hot We had reserved beforehand and everything was as we had imagined Will definitely come back Thank you for the good food

Really nice and good here. A sauerbraten that you have to look for for a long time - you can find it here. And a Silvaner soup with a kick. Or the vegetarian orange and rice vegetables. There were four of us and everyone was more than satisfied. With the best cuisine, with great service and, last but not least, with the selected wines. Everything at absolutely fair and good prices. And we were lucky: the weather was nice and we sat outside in a wonderfully quiet area. When we are back in Würzburg, we will of course go back!

I went to the Franciscan with my family for my birthday and we had a wonderful evening. The food was very tasty and Ms. Gansel is a warm and extremely friendly landlady who looked after us optimally. We will be happy to come back!

What a warm and delicious dinner with Sabine Gansel and her team. Wonderful regional cuisine in a restaurant that is owner-managed with heart and passion. The Schäufele is highly recommended. We felt very comfortable, a perfect dining experience in every respect. Thank you very much and please keep it up. Absolute recommendation!

Wir hatten 2 x Krustenbraten mit Knödel und Kraut: Reichlich Fleisch und es gab nichts nichts zu bemängeln. Deshalb haben wir das Essen unserem Tischnachbarn empfohlen, der dann nur halb so viel Fleisch erhalten hat. Das Kellerbier war gut, das leichtere Zwickl war noch besser.

Excellent Franconian cuisine, interesting selection of dishes. Friendly, attentive service.

It's always nice when you can eat traditionally. And we can only recommend this beautiful place. What a warm and nice staff, great. And the food - great. We felt completely comfortable and welcome, including our dog🫶🏻💚! Thanks

Super nice service and delicious crust on the roast. Rather calm atmosphere.
